Summary
| Description |
English: Satellite image showing wind whipped smoke and dust blowing southeast across Texas. The fires detected by the satellite are marked in red. The image illustrates one of the primary reasons fire danger is extremely high in Texas: strong winds. As of April 18, at least 23 large wildfires were burning in Texas. Seven of the largest are labeled in the image. The image also shows two wildfires burning in northern Mexico. Most of the seven fires shown in the image are larger than ten thousand acres, and many have threatened communities. |
